In my previous post I talked about how you can start using the new Xamarin Forms Shell in your apps, how to set it up and how to use it to create some tabs. In this post I want to take a closer look at this new navigation paradigm so you can start using it freely to create the apps that you need. We will take a look at its structure and its core features and explore how the flyout view works and how you can create one.

Starting with Xamarin.Forms 3.6 there is a new navigation paradigm available for us developers to use called Shell. In this post I want to discuss the benefits of using Shell over the traditional Page push and pop navigation that you may be accustomed to, as well as the initial steps that you need to perform in order to get Shell working on a new blank app.

Keep in mind that at the moment of writing this post, Shell is still in Preview, but is going to be one of the core features that will be fully available for Xamarin Forms 4.

I recently discovered Google Colab, an amazing tools for Data Scientist to experiment and learn. I’m no Data Scientist, but I’ve been using Google Colab to learn Machine Learning, and since I have a few repos on my GitHub that contain some Python Notebooks, I figured I’d clone some and use Google Colab’s GPU to train some models, especially the week that my MacBook Pro was in repair at an Apple Store and all I had to work with was my iPad Pro.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t as easy a feat as I thought, hence this post.
